About This Feature

Overview

Filter in WPS Office for Android is a spreadsheet data-viewing feature that helps you show only the rows that match selected conditions, so it is easier to focus on the records you need.

Core tasks include:

Add a filter condition: choose a field and apply a rule right away.
Add multiple filter rules: narrow results step by step with more than one rule.
Switch condition logic: choose whether results must meet all conditions or any condition.

This feature is useful for sales logs, task lists, form records, and other spreadsheet review scenarios. Filtering changes what is shown on screen and does not delete or edit the original data.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you open Filter from the bottom toolbar, add fields and rules, use multiple conditions, and switch between all conditions and any condition.	Excel supports AutoFilter, comparison operators, and multi-column filtering to show or hide data.	Google Sheets on Android supports creating a filter and filtering by values, condition, or color.	Notion databases support property-based filters and advanced filter groups with AND/OR logic.	Acrobat on mobile focuses on PDF review and annotation, and the official page does not describe an equivalent spreadsheet row-filtering workflow.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the entry is designed for mobile spreadsheet use on Android. Distinct: condition logic can be changed within the same filtering flow.	Compared with WPS: the official page documents strong spreadsheet filtering, but the selected source is mainly for desktop and web.	Compared with WPS: Android filtering is available, but the official page notes that filter views are desktop-only.	Compared with WPS: filtering is built around database properties and views rather than a traditional cell-based spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: the product focus is PDF handling rather than spreadsheet filtering in the same component category.
Official Source	—	Filter data in Excel	Sort and filter your data on Android	Views, filters, sorts and groups	Review documents on mobile

Overall Conclusion
WPS offers a filtering flow that fits mobile spreadsheet work on Android, especially when you need to add rules quickly and review results on a phone. Google Sheets also supports filtering on Android, while Notion is more database-oriented and Adobe mobile documentation focuses on PDF work instead of spreadsheet filtering.
